Wolimierz

Wolimierz is a mountain village in Lower Silesia situated at approximately 300 meters elevation in the foothills of the Jizera Mountains. The settlement is surrounded by forests and provides access to hiking trails in the mountain range.

The village was originally known as Volkersdorf under German administration until the end of World War II. After 1945, the area became part of Poland and the settlement received its current Polish name.

The Stacja Wolimierz gallery and theater operate from a converted train station building that hosts international festivals and artistic workshops. This space has become a cultural hub that brings people from the surrounding area together throughout the year.

The village is located approximately 19 kilometers south of Lubań and 123 kilometers west of Wrocław, making it relatively accessible. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the mountain hiking routes are most passable.

The village preserves traditional umgebindehaus architecture, a regional building style that combines wooden and stone elements characteristic of the borderlands between Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. This distinctive construction method shapes the village appearance and reflects the area's layered history.
